Firstly there is the issue of very under-qualified teachers doing their best to cope with a curriculum for which they have had inadequate preparation and for which the resources are also inadequate.

There are many assumptions about homeless people. Perhaps the most common is that all of them are too lazy to work. Having been there myself and having worked with many others in the same situation, I have to say that for the vast majority of homeless people, the assumption that they are lazy is dead wrong. In economically depressed areas in an economically recessed economy and hiring preferences (thus discrimination for the unprefered) homelessness is an outcome of unemployment, not the cause. They don’t pay 5 to 10 cents a can for recycling, or that might help. 2 cents isn’t enough. Some people want you to work for free…not food, not shelter, not trade…but as a slave. Weird world. The solution is equity in hiring.

Many parents that choose to give their children a home-school education could use extra money to help with homeschool expenses. The costs for buying needed books, building science projects, purchasing learning material, going on field trips and paying membership costs for home-school students that many parents just can not afford the costs by themselves. Many children will benefit from special educational services to a great extent. Many children benefit so much that they no longer require services or extra support.

They do not take interest in student’s matters or their personalities. They do not discuss career aspects of their subjectsTeachers promotes cramming rather than encouraging new ideas, they promote those who get good marks in exam by cramming. So those students who get degree by mere cramming of course fail in practical field. Faulty habit of cramming and the iniquitous … Read more

Population education is a recent innovation and, as such, is subject to various misinterpretations and misunderstandings. To many people, population education is family planning; to others, it is another name for sex education; still to many others, including teachers, it is synonymous with the teaching of demography and/or population studies. Other than these two exceptions, if you really want to get ahead in life, you have to own your own business. I am not saying that you need to quit your job immediately. You need to have the right mindset in order to start your own successful business without quitting your job, or having to put up a lot of money. You need to know how to raise (not borrow) money cheaply.
